Software Development for Startups

Startup nightmares

What makes up a great startup? A vision that guides your decisions, passion that drives your project, and, most often than not, disturbing nightmares that keep you up at night, of course!

The product isn’t in demand on the market →

“It was frustrating to realize that we had missed the mark.”

An app that helps find escaped pets seemed like a market hit. But after rushing the launch, instead of millions of “wiggling tails” reunited with the owners, all we got was 30 downloads within a month. Looking back, I realize that we focused too heavily on the technical side, and not enough on market research and our proposition.

The funds run out & investors are left disappointed →

“We got in quicksand: the more hours we put in — the deeper we sank.”

We were quick to assemble a talented team, but the delivery process was from hell! The poor workflow led to delayed release and,ultimately,to delayed payoffs for all our efforts. We had to report back to investors, but, needless to say, asking for more budget for a half-finished project was no pleasant talk at all.

The vendor fails to deliver what's expected →

“All we got was a headache and a ton of wasted money.”

Picture a keyboard with a tiny built-in display for notifications. That was the plan. What we got was a huge screen right in the middle of a keyboard that had more glitches than an old video game and made you want to throw it away to forever stick to pen and paper.

Remedies for nightmares

As a startup once ourselves, and as a trusted startup technology partner over the years, Oxagile has gained a profound insight into all dreaded scenarios that leave startup owners with under-eye circles from sleepless nights. This is why we treat your project with the same level of care as we would our own, making sure that our core principles serve as remedies to any potential nightmares.

Efficient delegation

Our priority is to help founders achieve their goals of driving the business forward without being bogged down by the complexities of technology selection. Our clients’ role is to share their vision with us and stay up to date with regular progress reports.

Efficient delegation

Meanwhile, we take care of everything else – from optimizing and automating processes, to developing and testing to ensure dependable, repeatable releases, guaranteeing that all deadlines are met with ease.

Right-mindset team

Finding the right path to a great product is just half of success. What can make a real change is growing the perfect team of experts to guide you on that journey.

Right-mindset team

We handle the entire recruiting process, from hiring and onboarding the digital talents with the right mindset for the project, to motivating them, ensuring great opportunities for input. This results in perfect-match placements, all while keeping our clients in the loop with full transparency every step of the way.

Meaningful development

We work with startups to chart the course for their success, whether that means providing guidance or pushing the boundaries of their vision. We go the extra mile to truly understand the client’s perspective and provide personalized support.

Meaningful development

Sometimes we realize that the technical solutions we’re asked for just won’t bring the desired result, and we’re not afraid to suggest and explore alternative approaches or resources to ensure the project is not only great, but is also in great demand in the market.

Protecting your valuable sleep with our service offering

How about we trade in pesky nightmares for delightful dreams instead?

Sweet dream #1

“Our product is so popular that people can’t wait to get their hands on it. And when they do – they’re beyond satisfied.”

We made it a reality with Oxagile's ProCD framework for evidence of the potential success

To secure the product’s success in the market, we guided our client through the critical questions, ensuring the answers always stayed relevant throughout the entire development journey.

For whom?

Who is our target audience?
What needs do they have?

Better than who?

Who are our competitors?
Why are (or will) we better than them?

What & why?

How do (or will) we meet our target audience’s needs?
How to meet these needs faster and easier?

Beauty lies in the constant and harmonious interplay of 3 components: learning, building, and measuring.

First, during the learning step, we delve deep into our research, answering every question above with different instruments to justify all our development decisions. Once we’ve got a plan in place, we use the knowledge gained to start building. And then we step back to carefully analyze and measure the interim results of what was implemented. Such corrective actions allow us to make tweaks and modifications for additional risk management.
This cycle remains ongoing and continues without interruption to keep the project growing and improving without missing a beat.

Sweet dream #2

“I can hear the sound of high-fives and cheers as we’re pulling off a timely launch of the project that perfectly matches our investors’ original vision! But wait, it gets better – we even manage to come in under budget!”

We made it a reality with transparency and predictability each step of the way

Predictable Scrum

Small sprints, velocity plans, and ongoing monitoring of 3 co-dependent factors: Scope, Timeline, and Budget.
Real-time and in-depth sign-off reports and demos after each sprint.
Full stakeholder access to all project environments.

CI/CD Practices

Up to several releases per day with the possibility to instantly receive feedback from stakeholders
Automation to reduce the cost and human involvement
Superior code quality since code problems are known nearly in real time, and simplified rollback that takes minutes, not days

PoC & MVP for testing fresh ideas

Serious budget and time economy based on Pareto principle and the right prioritization
Faster release and feedback thanks to development by iterations with follow-up feedback and improvements
Easy idea testing without exhausting planning by focusing on the most important things to check first

Oxagile's Predictable Scrum

We not only talk the talk, but we walk the walk. See firsthand how we put our words into action applying the Scrum framework.

Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery

With CI/CD practices we create a sustainable delivery flow – we add small pieces of code daily and immediately check their impact on the overall project. This allows for quick identification and rollback of any issues that arise. Moreover, we ensure a stable build, since every small change undergoes integration and regression tests before being deployed to production.

The MVP / PoC techniques

Just like with testing the waters before diving in headfirst, we opt for validating new technological ideas with Proof of Concept / Minimum Viable Product before investing significant resources. This way we reduce the risk of failure and increase the chances of success.

Sweet dream #3

“The developer is executing every task with unfailing reliability, while I sit back, relax, and just keep a watchful eye on every step of the progress.”

We made it a reality by placing quality at the forefront of our approach

Comprehensive view

Tests automation
Requirements management
Thoughtful architecture
Engineering practices

Years of experience have convinced us of the importance of taking a comprehensive approach to quality assurance, one that extends far beyond just the presence of a QA engineer in a team.

Audits

The institute of internal auditing covers a wide range of delivery zones: PM, BA, architecture, quality, DEV, DevOps, UI/UX.
Offering valuable external perspectives from chief-level experts, providing fresh and abstract insights.

To ensure adherence to industry best practices, we continuously monitor and make audits of key project metrics such as milestones, quality, budget, feedback, and other.

Automation QA framework

Custom modules to rapidly test applications and APIs in parallel.
Continuous testing to deliver shippable increments without regression debt and release delays.
Statistics-driven ROI calculator to determine cost savings.

Our robust AQA framework enables us to slash testing costs and eliminate regressions to release with confidence.
